@MartinBüttner Why'd you have to go and get publicist? Once this reached 10k views we we're supposed to be tied with 9 gold apiece and I might have had the only chance anyone on this site could ever have to surpass you in a badge count XD

@trichoplax Hahaha, here on PPCG there are two opposing factions, the Calvinists who ask questions and the Martinists who answer them. (No religious offence intended, that's just a really funny coincidence.)

I must be very close to hitting the serial downvote reversal for a user on LifeHacks. I'm having to consciously think about whether or not to downvote now (based on the user, not the post), which shouldn't be the case :(

The Jigsaw Code Puzzle

This is an answer-dependent challenge! The order of answers matters, and your exact task depends on the last answer that was posted.
Let's piece together some code! Here are 1960 random (printable ASCII) characters. Think of them as a big heap of unsort...

Mostly they just look like they're from an external source without attribution. Very many self-answers that way, as in "browse a lifehacking site and scrape stuff to farm rep". Mostly one-liners with a meme-ish picture attached.

well, there are a few ways to do this, and I don't want to include the cartesian product of all option in the sandbox post, so I thought I might be able to rule a few things out before I write it up in detail

the idea is basically that the cops design word search puzzles with code (which the robbers have to solve). the clue for the programs in the word search will be their outputs (as it was for Unscramble the Source). the score would be the size of the word search.

the main questions are:

1. Do the cops choose the number of codes to find or is it prescribed? In the former case, how does this factor into the score? In the latter case, what's a good number? 2. Do all codes output the same, or will there be one clue per snippet? (I tend to the former.) 3. Do all codes have to be in the same language, all in different languages or could the cop specify "1 Python, 1 Ruby, 2 CJam"?

You are placed in a grid with no wrapping. You start on your "base", and you must step on every other square on the grid. Each step drains your "battery" 1%. By stepping on your base, you recharge your battery completely

it's probably similar for the robbers, except they have to find code in particular language with given output. I don't like that it's similar to CH's challenge, but feersum and Geobits convinced that there's no point in making it a word search

Hide your code in a Boggle board!

This proposal is intended to supersede my earlier proposal Find the Needle in the Haystack, of which I'm not convinced any more that it would work very well. I'll keep both proposals around for now, though.
The Cops' Challen...

haha, I'm looking forward to the robbers' thread being closed and the cops' thread remaining open... then the cops' thread will be closed as "too broad" because any submission will be valid, as there is no place to crack them :D

Print out the first N characters of your code
You should write a program or function that receives a positive integer N as input and prints out the first N characters of your code. If N is larger than the length of your code you should continue output your code cyclically.
